Message I just received my new turbos from Z1 and you can see in the next two pics that the wastegate actuator tab is bent on one turbo and straight on the other. Is this on purpose (e.g. for clearance), or did one of them get bent in shipping? If it's on purpose, which side is which?


One turbo also arrived with a bolt missing on the compressor side. The same bolt on the other turbo was loose.

The shipping box leaves a bit to be desired. Two small boxes inside of one large box with crumpled newspaper as the only shock protection. There's a good sized dent in the bottom of one of the small boxes which leaves me wondering if the turbo took a hit. For $2500 I'd expect at least some foam.

On a brighter note, the groupbuy intercoolers look great, and came with hoses and t-clamps. They were also packaged much more safely.

I'm also looking forward to installing these. As usual, Greg's parts arrived quickly and well protected by several feet of bubble wrap.

I picked up a Profec B Spec II as well and I'm less than enthused about getting it set up, but it sounds like a great controller once it's dialed in properly. Water injection is on the wish list (Cali 91 octane), but it'll have to wait for now.

The Z's been garaged for nearly a year now. Hopefully it will be a fun summer.
